Kasha And Bow Tie Pilaf Recipes

Steps:

• In 12-inch nonstick skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Cook onions, bell pepper and mushrooms in butter 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender. Remove from skillet to plate.
• In small bowl, stir kasha and egg, coating well. Cook kasha in same skillet over medium heat about 3 minutes, stirring constantly, until browned and dry.
• Return vegetables to skillet with kasha; stir in broth, salt and pepper. Heat to boiling; reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer 10 to 15 minutes or until broth is absorbed and kasha is tender.
• Meanwhile, cook and drain pasta as directed on package. Stir cooked pasta and parsley into kasha mixture.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, toast kasha over medium high heat, stirring constantly, until it darkens and starts to smell nutty, about 2 to 3 minutes.
• Add oil, heat for a few seconds, then add onion and sauté about 3 minutes, stirring. Pour in broth or water, add salt and pepper, and bring to a simmer. Cover pot, turn heat to low, and cook until kasha is tender, about 10 to 12 minutes. Fluff with a fork before serving.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Mix kasha with the egg until grains are thoroughly coated. Heat oil in a sauce pan. Add onions and cook until they begin to soften, about 2 minutes. Add white wine vinegar and water, cover and cook until onions are tender, about 8 minutes. Uncover and evaporate liquid over high heat; continue to cook until onions are golden. Meanwhile bring chicken broth to a boil and add pasta to the boiling water. Stir sugar into onions, then add kasha and saute, over low heat until kasha is tender, about 5 to 8 minutes; adjust seasoning. Serve over bow tie pasta and dollop with sour cream and dill.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. place a roasting pan in it. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add onions, cook 10 to 12 minutes; add mushrooms, cook until tender. Add kasha and 2 cups stock. Cook until kasha is tender, about 20 minutes. Set aside.
• Melt 1 1/2 tablespoons butter in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Flour hens and cook, skin side down, with backbones, until golden brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Turn, and cook 3 to 5 more minutes. Transfer hens to roasting pan; roast for about 20 minutes.
• Pour grease from skillet. Over high heat, add wine, and use a wooden spoon to scrape up brown bits. Lower heat, add remaining stock, and cook until reduced by a third, 5 minutes. Stir in remaining butter.
• Stir cooked pasta and parsley into kasha. Season, and heat through. Serve hens over kasha pilaf, and spoon sauce over hens.

Steps:

• 1. Sauté the onions in 2 tablespoons of the margarine or chicken fat in a heavy frying pan with a cover until golden. Remove to a plate.
• 2. Beat the egg in a small mixing bowl and stir in the kasha. Mix, making sure all the grains are coated. Put the kasha in the same frying pan, set over a high heat. Flatten, stir, and break up the egg-coated kasha with a fork or wooden spoon for 2 to 4 minutes or until the egg has dried on the kasha and the kernels brown and mostly separate.
• 3. Add the water or bouillon, salt, and pepper to the frying pan and bring to a boil. Add the onions, cover tightly, and cook over low heat, steaming the kasha for 10 minutes. Remove the cover, stir, and quickly check to see if the kernels are tender and the liquid has been absorbed. If not, cover and continue steaming for 3 to 5 minutes more.
• 4. Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook the bow-tie noodles according to the directions on the package. Drain.
• 5. When the kasha is ready, combine with the noodles. Adjust the seasoning, sprinkle with the parsley and coriander. If desired, add a bit more margarine or chicken fat.

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon of the butter in a saucepan and add the onions and garlic. Cook, stirring, until wilted.
• Add the kasha, bay leaf, thyme, parsley, broth, salt and pepper. Bring to the boil and cover closely. Cook 10 minutes.
• Remove the bay leaf, thyme sprig and parsley sprigs. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon butter and the chopped parsley. Stir to blend.

Steps:

• Combine water, salt, and butter in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Once it reaches the boil turn off heat and cover.
• Meanwhile, beat egg in a medium bowl and add kasha. Mix together until grains are thoroughly and evenly coated.
• Transfer to a medium-size, wide, heavy saucepan (I use Analon nonstick), place over high heat and stir egg-coated kasha constantly until grains are dry, smell toasty, and no egg is visible, 2 to 3 minutes. Add just-boiled water, turn heat to very low, cover and simmer 10 to 12 minutes for cracked kasha, 30 minutes for whole kasha, or until all of the liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat.
• Remove lid from pan, place clean dish towel over pan (not touching the grains), and cover tightly. Let sit undisturbed for 10 to 15 minutes. Fluff and serve.
